Keeping Employees Happy

As a human, we all crave for respect and acknowledgment for our presence. Similarly, employees like to serve those organizations which treat them fairly, provide them their rights and wish to develop them. It is the employers duty to provide employees with a learning and positive environment which promotes personal and professional growth.

Employers should work on developing the best interactive employee experience which will keep the vibe alive, and employees would love coming to work.

Providing technological assistance

Employees should be provided with adequate resources to do their job which can include their own laptops, mobile phones and access to the company software. It becomes very annoying for the employee to work if they are not provided with enough resources to achieve their targets.

Ensuring good physical environment

The personal space of the employee at work is where he/she spends the most time. It should be safe for the employee and should comply with all hygienic standards. An unpleasant workforce decreases the motivation level of the employees and they don’t produce as good results as they can at their full capacity. The demographics of the workplace should make employees excited to come to work and it should be something they are proud of being associated with.

Organizational culture

It is the vibe when you enter the workplace and the tone which is set up the upper managerial staff. A toxic environment is very difficult to cope up with and employees struggle going to work if the office environment makes them suffocate. Having a strong and motivated leader is very important who promotes the same type of motivation among the employees also.

To design a great employee experience, following things should be kept in mind.

• Technology which is easily available and accessible to everyone.
• Technology that is latest and will help the employees achieve their targets on time.
• Employee needs should be taken care of in terms of the equipment they require to work.
• Work space should offer flexibility for the employees. They shouldn’t feel sick while sitting at their work place.
• Organization’s values should be reflected in the workspace of the employees and how the office is designed demographically.
• Providing leverage to multiple workspace options depending on the nature of the work.
• The culture of the organization should make employees feel safe and valued.
• Employees should feel they are a part of the team by being involved in important decision making.
• Organization should support employees in learning new skills and acquiring more knowledge depending on the nature of the job.
• Company should provide them with internal and external trainings to groom them for the betterment of the organization.
• Monetary rewards should be given time to time to keep the staff motivated.
• Companies should be very particular about treating their employees fairly and discourage all sort of discrimination.
• Company should promote the culture of mentoring employees and have coaches to train workers.
• Employee health and wellness should be taken care of and employees should be considered an asset for the company.
